What does it look like?? Size?? Laminated??
Good idea....I spend alot of time in my car.In event of an accident no one would know I have the cats, bunnies and Parrot....
My rabbit cards are home made, just from blank postcards cut to size. The one in the car is more permanent. Double sided selotaped to front passenger side, at the front of the glove compartment. There some very thin left over perspex taped over it to keep it clean.
You're right Captain Helen they don't search through everyone's things at the scene of an accident, once we've established identity, but
do try to secure things like bank cards,& valuables so that's a good place to keep a rabbit card. Some form of I/D is usually in a patient's clothing or handbag.
We also look for clues about a patient's religion eg RC's may need the last rites.
In normal circumstances, 2 nurses make a written inventory of all a patient's possessions, (very thorough) as soon as the patient has had emergency care, & immediately sent to the hospital safe. So that's fast, less than an hour after arrival.
If we're overloaded with a lot of serious injuries at once, everything is put in a sealed labelled plastic bag, kept on the trolley with the patient, & sorted out on the ward. Unconcious patients are sent to a ward very quickly.
In all my years in an Accident unit I have never known of a patient carrying a "pet alert card". In my own situation it's absolutely essential.
